The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the embodiment of our principles and our aspirations as Canadians.

It must be protected — not wielded for political gain.

Forty-three years on, the Charter remains strong — and it’s on all of us to defend it.

It took America all of 9 days to blink first and fold, proving that America needs China far more than China needs America.

Which cements America as the weaker of the two parties in all future negotiations.

Art of the deal.

This freewheeling interview about music and culture and history is a great window into the person of Mark Carney.
It’s not a campaign visit to Vancouver without a Hip Flip.

Thanks for the records and the trip down memory lane, @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social.

This is a unique moment in history to stand and fight

I encourage everyone to challenge themselves to break from patterns of complacency, apathy, and cynicism

Get out there, get involved. Dare to get out of your comfort zone. Hope, optimism, unity and being engaged is good for the soul

April 9 is the anniversary of the execution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Canadian storming of Vimy Ridge.
This is my reflection on courage in an era of complicity and moral cowardice.
Trump is being aided by the "great grovel" of business/political leaders.

One addendum I’d tack on to this excellent message. If you stay on Facebook, use it to solely engage with real people you know.

Not participating in bot and troll-filled groups, not subjecting yourself to their algorithms which feed you hate and misinformation.

And delete X. Period.
The election is being called. Get set to be swamped in a toxic sea of hate and disinformation. This is the right wing playbook in action.
Please check out my latest piece on the role Facebook has played in driving disinformation.

Trump: We'll Sell "Toned Down" Planes To Our Allies, "One Day They Might Not Be Allies"
President Trump said during the announcement of the F-47 stealth fighter jet that the U.S. will sell a "toned down" version to allies, "which probably makes sense, because maybe some of them are not our allies, right?" DONALD TRUMP: It will ensure the USA continues to dominate the skies. We have given in order for a lot. We cannot tell you the price because it would give away some of the technology and sizable planes--a good-sized plane. This contract also represents an historic investment in our defense industrial base, helping keep America at the cutting edge of technology. Our allies are calling constantly--they want to buy them also. Certain allies, we will be selling them, perhaps, a toned-down version. We like to tone it down about 10%, which probably makes sense, because maybe some of them are not our allies, right?

You know what what really pwn the libs?

If the Republicans offered fast-tracked immigration for MAGA Canadians in order for them to shore up their domestic support.

This would really grind my gears.

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.
This is the creep of fascism.
I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA.

America is not an “embarrassment”. It’s not a joke. It’s not funny how dumb and counterproductive their actions are.

This not a game or a comedy sketch, it’s real life. And it’s harming people and it’s only going to get worse until it’s stopped. No one is stopping them.

Stop pretending otherwise.
